People that know me or who have been reading my posts know how much I appreciate my solitude. The days I carve out time to be with my own self, are glorious. On those days, I get to calmly listen to my inner thoughts and I get to indulge in the simple things that make me happy.

We are always trying to look for quick solutions and when they don’t happen we feel sad and frustrated.

Let me give you a few examples: If we want to be in a relationship we take the first guy/girl we find and say to ourselves: He/she is it. It doesn’t matter he/she may not be the best choice for us. What matters is that we are done casting the part of a partner/lover. Of course when the relationship doesn’t work we blame ourselves, we blame them and we blame the world. And we fail to realize that in our hurry to put one need/problem/issue aside we rushed to the first possibility and thought: “issue solved” and moved on.

What about when we are feeling blue and we reach for the first soothing anything only to feel worse after the fact?

I’m not suggesting we think a million times before we do anything. But I am suggesting being in tune with ourselves so we can hear our inner voices screaming at us: “Stop type casting and look for the real deal”. Our inner-selves always knows the truth, stop and listen to yourself.

You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover is yourself. ~Alan Alda
